    The firm plans to repackage and offer as pure standards controlled 
substances in small milligram quantities for drug testing and analysis.
    No comments or objections have been received. DEA has considered 
the factors in Title 21, United States Code, section 823(a) and 
determined that the registration of Sigma-Aldrich Company is consistent 
with the public interest and with United States obligations under 
international treaties, conventions, or protocols in effect on May 1, 
1971, at this time. DEA has investigated Sigma-Aldrich Company on a 
regular basis to ensure that the company's continued registration is 
consistent with the public interest. These investigations have included 
inspection and testing of the company's physical security systems, 
audits of the company's records, verification of the company's 
compliance with state and local laws, and a review of the company's 
background and history. Therefore, pursuant to section 1008(a) of the 
Controlled Substances Import and Export Act and in accordance with 
Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, section 1311.42, the above firm 
is granted registration as an importer of the basic classes of 
controlled substances listed above.

    Dated: January 16, 2002.

Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug
